Excerpt from The Church and the Age
Though it is not usual for a showman to begin by disparaging his own wares, I feel that some apology is needed for printing addresses which were not written for publication, which were delivered to a very quiet little society of London ladies, and the theme of which was neither chosen by the lecturer nor particularly congenial to him. I am also reluctant even to seem to have been provoked to justify myself against the absurd misrepresentations of the halfpenny news papers and their reporters. I am printing these addresses not on their account, but in deference to strong requests which I could hardly disregard, from those who heard them and many others. The latter, I fear, will find my remarks less bold and original than they had been led to expect.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the challenges posed by the 20th century to the ideals of the 19th. The author argues that the 20th century has been one of disillusionment, marked by two world wars, the decline of religious belief, and the rise of materialism. As a result, the author argues that the Church must reassess its role in society and adopt a more active and engaged stance in promoting social justice and reconciliation. The book is a timely and provocative assessment of the state of the Church in the 21st century and offers a challenging vision for its future.
